Installing .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 2012


Installing .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 2012
Installing .NET Framework is a bit different from the standard way like other Roles or Features are installed.

Following is the command
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs

Command Parameters:
/Online targets the operating system you're running (instead of an offline Windows image).
/Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 specifies that you want to enable the .NET Framework 3.5.
/All enables all parent features of the .NET Framework 3.5.
/LimitAccess prevents DISM from contacting Windows Update.
/Source specifies the location of the files needed to restore the feature (example, the D:\sources\sxs directory or a network location using \\ we will be using network location in the example below).
